Town of Newburgh Friends of Seniors

Volunteers drive town residents age 60 and over to doctor appointments and grocery shopping. Volunteers also do grocery shopping for those who are unable to shop for themselves or will visit for an hour a week to provide companionship.
A two week notice is preferred for ride requests. There is no charge for this service. Volunteers are trained and screened and donate their time. If interested call 564-8936.
If interested in volunteering, call 564-8936 and leave a message for coordinator and co-founder Anita Manley.
